We have proclaimed this week, KELLY WEEK, here at Almost 30! She just released her book Body Love and we just had her on this past Tuesday to chat all about it + answer YOUR questions! The girls decided that it was completely necessary to re-release Kelly's first sit-down. I mean, they STILL get e-mails about that episode! #ALMOST30NATION does not sleep! Just kidding, we do. 8 HOURS AT LEAST. Ok, ok. This one speaks for itself. You will want to give this your full attention. Your body will thank you! HAPPY KELLY WEEK, YA'LL!

Nutritional KA-WEEN to the stars, KELLY LEVEQUE (of Be Well By Kelly), is back and better than ever on the podcast. Not only is she STILL FREAKIN' FABULOUS and working with celebrity clients like Chelsea Handler, Jessica Alba, and Molly Sims, but she's releasing her new book Body Love today! And yes, we had a copy of the book with us in studio.

("Basically, like having the first copy of the Bible." - Krista)

Anywho, in this episode, we talk with her about the book, the process of actually writing getting a book published, Kelly answers real questions from listeners, and spills the deets on what she knows and does best, ALL THINGS NUTRITION. For example ...

Artist, designer, woman of change, and amazing light of creativity, CHELSEA LEIFKEN, joins Krista + Linds this week in the #Almost30Lounge, and it's as real as it gets, people. If you don't know who Chelsea is, YOU SHOULD/GET ON IT. Not only is she one of LA's coolest designers, but she's the creator of fabulous lines of leather goods, hand painted by her with love and the most inspirational messages. After studying at FIDM and working the 9-5 lifestyle in the tremulous fashion industry, Chelsea realized she was meant for something greater. That she had more to give to the world as an artist. Battling depression, anxiety, and the challenges of starting your own business, she's the badass we all need more of.

Ever heard of the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui?! It's not some crazy interior design technique people have used for centuries. It's a way of cleaning your space AND your life!

To dive further into what this technique and practice is all about, Krista and Linds sat down this week with Feng Shui expert and personal curator, DANA CLAUDAT. Dana studied Art History at Stanford University and then moved on to become a Pyramid School Feng Shui consultant. Krista and Linds literally asked her, "DANA TEACH US YOUR WAYS." Because it's about time we all learned about how bomb feng shui is ...

Feng Shui means "wind" and "water", so it's all about BALANCE. And in ancient times, it was all about survival and structure of your home in relation to the wind, weather, geography, and water.

Dana's job is "expansive design", design to help you expand your life, through art and feng shui.

She also breaks down the stereotypes of feng shui, everything from how strict it is and what are the rules.

Find yourself drifting off during your daily routine, thinking of big ideas, money, and a life you truly want? Stuck in your ways but distracted by your passions? Love health & wellness and don't know how to monetize it? THIS is your episode homies.

Angie Lee is a business coach to the best wellness coaches out there. She went from broke to six figures by finding a hole in the health market. And trust us, she tells us exactly how it is.

Don't doubt or ignore your naiive motivation

the constant battle of corporate jobs and monotonous 9-5 routines

entrepreneurs are who they are because they're "stupid enough to do it" and go through with their "crazy" ideas

what to do when you don't know what to do as an entrepreneur

how taking a break from EVERYTHING, even motivational speakers and inspirational books, can bring you more answers than anything

her mistakes over the years as a coach & how they're VITAL to your development
